not me. nuh uh. don't even think about it.
But I know someone who is. Not at liberty to share her username but I can safely say that it starts with a g and end with omi.

OK, ok, then I have to say I know someone who is, too. And he's a cereal. No, not Trix.

quote from #bunnies - special-k: stop it. I'm quite ticklish

I have done blood-drawing* violence when tickled in the past, so ticklish am I.

*Okay, not intentionally, but still.

it depends upon whos doing the tickling .

A bit. It depends on the skill of the tickler. If they're one of those aggravating fucks that goes for the hard pinch/strength tickle--I'm likely to just punch them in the face instead of getting the skin giggles.

I am very ticklish. . .to the extent that I have reacted inappropriately in situations where no harm was meant. . .

My sister and her friends used to hold me down and tickle me and it was torture. . .very abusive. . .so since then I have no patience with anyone who wants to play at it.

I hear ya danf. Personal boundaries on these things get very weird. I'm too ticklish to let anyone go for more than a handful seconds.

PS. Stew is too much of a lady to add the mandatory WHERE part to this question. For me the sides are pretty bad!

Not at all.

I think I'm less ticklish than a lot of people. If I concentrate hard enough, I can stay calm while being tickled, which means people usually think I'm not ticklish at all.

Very ticklish, particularly feet and sides. My husband doesn't get that it's NOT FUNNY IN FACT IT'S VERY UNPLEASANT when he tickles my feet. I foresee a semi-accidental kick to the private parts in his future.

My sister could torment me terribly when I was a kid - I was really sensitive. Since then there hasn't been anyone to really put it to the test. Just the occasional nose.

What unsurprising said, pretty much.

Don't touch me, ever. Potential boyfriends who think it's cute or funny to tickle me will be out the door so fast they won't know what hit them. And, what danf said.

posted by Melismata 31 August | 09:39

Yep, very ticklish on my sides and feet.
